I don't have an LX manual (note to self: call Pentax USA and order one).
Does anyone know if the LX, when firing a flash bulb using the FP jack, will
auto-exposure since it meters off the film? I know flash bulb durations are
fixed around 20-50mS (1/50-1/20s) with a specific delay requiring
pre-firing. The shutter/meter can respond quicker than that duration, so it
seems possible the LX can auto-expose the flash duration and cut off the
light by closing the shutter when there is enough. But does it really do
that in practice? I'd hate to waste a pile of flashbulbs running
experiments.
Thanks,
Gerald
